* The 2012 film ''[[The Cabin in the Woods]]'' is one huge lampshade-hanging exercise.

* In the 2011 film ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]'' after the exposition of the characters' seemingly insurmountable obstacle, Amy Adams' character quips, "This is going to be an awfully short movie."

* In the [[Johnny Depp]] [[The Movie|version]] of ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Charlie and The Chocolate Factory]]'', Charlie asks Willie Wonka, "Do you remember the first candy you ever ate?", prompting a [[Flash Back|flashback scene]] to Willie's childhood. When the scene returns to the present, the factory visitors are staring at Wonka, who shrugs and says "Sorry, I was having a flashback."

* In "Gremlins 2: A New Batch" the writers respond to critics of the 3 Mogwai Rules set in the first film by having a Clamp Corp control room worker obnoxiously point out, "It's always midnight somewhere!", right before a gremlin bursts through his monitor panel and kills him.
